Prep school options in Sevenoaks?

Hi all,
Hope someone call help.
I am currently looking at prep school options for my daughter. I have visited Walthamstow hall and Sevenoaks prep. Does anyone have any other recommendations? We are looking to move to the area and ideally want to be a maximum walking distance of 20 minutes to whichever school we decide.
We didnt get a great vibe from sevenoaks prep, also there doesnt seem to be much diversity in the school. We definitely preferred walthamstow hall. However this could be the wrong judgement.

Have you looked at The Granville? Excellent academic results.

Thanks. No I haven't

Was also going to suggest Granville close to the station too if you ever need to commute to London.

We've had a really good experience with Walthamstow Hall Juniors (Wally Hall). The teacher's have been very supportive and responsive and our DD really enjoys school and has thrived personally and academically. We like the new head too. One of the positives is the access to the facilities at the senior school.

Granville has a reputation locally for being very academic (and very pushy) but I know friends who have daughters there who are very happy and doing well. Ultimately they're both good schools, it's just working out which one suits your daughter best!

Wally Hall always used to have a reputation for producing nicer girls. Don’t know what the vibe is now.

I'd say it's unchanged. Granville has a reputation as a hothouse with all the competitiveness and pressure that comes with it so it's not surprising that things boil over from time to time.

visited wally hall, thought it was a bit posh and soulless, but everyone else likes it so 🤔
